AND ARE BELIEVED TO CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF:

*1 Count of 14:46.3--Trafficking of Children for sexual purposes-- (Felony)

PROBABLE CAUSE IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FACTS:

In February 2022, I, Investigator Scott Rodrigue, assigned to the Special Victims Unit (SVU) of the
Louisiana State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Violent Crimes Against Children
(VCAC) Task Force, began assisting the FBI on a federal investigation after multiple allegations against
members of the Archdioceses of New Orleans were made.

During the course of the investigation, law enforcement personnel conducted a large number of interviews
(which are still being conducted) of victims alleging the widespread sexual abuse of minors at the hands
of priests and clergymen dating back decades.

In June of 2022, investigators conducted an interview of now known-victim. The Known-Victim, who
was a minor at the time or the alleged crime, detailed being anally raped at an Archdiocese facility by Ex-
Priest Father Lawrence Hecker, who served in 13 different congregations during his career. As a result of
that interview, a separate LSP investigation was eventually opened under LSP case # 22-148883.

On September 7, 2023, Lawrence Hecker was indicted by an Orleans Parish Grand Jury for the following
charges:
One (1) count of Louisiana Revised Statue 14:42; Relative to Aggravated Rape.
One (1) count of Louisiana Revised Statue 14:44; Relative to Aggravated Kidnapping.
One (1) count of Louisiana Revised Statue 14;89.1; Relative to Aggravated Crimes Against Nature.
One (1) count of Louisiana Revised Statue 14:67; Relative to Theft

In addition, and based on victim interviews and documents previously sealed by a federal bankruptcy
judge, it was additionally alleged that high ranking members of the Archdiocese of New Orleans not only
knew about claims of widespread sexual abuse of minors dating back decades, but that the claims were
ignored, and in many cases, covered up and not reported to law enforcement. This was made clear during
the Hecker investigation. The known-victim detailed reporting his rape to the Head of the Archdiocese
Facility shortly after it occurred, but explained no legal action was taken. It was learned that particular

Case Number: 23-161476 Warrant Number: LSP-2024-019762 Approved on: Apr, 22, 2024 at 03:10 PM
clergy member was later also sent to a psychiatric facility due to claims of sexual abuse and subsequently
later listed on the ‘Credibly Accused List’ of two separate Archdiocese, one being Orleans. During a law
enforcement interview with that known clergy member, he confessed to sexually abusing a minor which
occurred in the 1970’s, although through out the years he was the target of other sexual abuse
accusations.

Subsequently, additional allegations were made against other high-ranking members of the Archdiocese
of New Orleans. The allegations continued to include claims that the Archdiocese was aware of,
disregarded, and/or covered up widespread claims of sexual abuse of minors dating back years. The
allegations indicated that many claims reported to the Archdiocese were not reported to law enforcement
and, in some cases, monetary payments were made to victims and/or their families by the Archdiocese to
dismiss the allegations. Others claims alleged, that accused priests and clergyman were moved to other
congregations within the Archdiocese of New Orleans, and, in some cases, reassigned to other
Archdiocese to hide them from their accusers.

During the Hecker investigation, a search warrant was issued to the Archdiocese of New Orleans for all
documents related to Lawrence Hecker. The search warrant was signed by the Honorable Orleans Parish
Commissioner Jay Daniels. As a result, investigators obtained documentation previously not released to
law enforcement. A review of some of the documents revealed that Hecker, along with numerous other
clergy members, were publicly listed on a ‘Credibly Accused List’ by the Archdiocese of New Orleans
based on allegations of sexual misconduct. It was further learned that Hecker was sent to a psychiatric
facility in Pennsylvania and diagnosed as a “Pedophile” by a medical professional. Even with the
medical diagnoses, Hecker was released and reassigned to another parish after his evaluation, with the
blessing of the Archbishop, who was aware of his medical diagnoses. Hecker was not the only member of
the archdiocese sent to receive psychiatric testing based on allegations of child sexual abuse.

Some of the documents obtained back the claim that previous Archbishops, the highest-ranking official in
the Archdiocese, not only knew of the sexual abuse and failed to report all the claims to law enforcement,
but spent Archdiocese funding to support the accused.

For example, one 48-page document obtained during the course of the investigation, detailed a certain
named Archbishop, “was aware of rampant sexual abuse though-out the Archdiocese.” This is only one
example of some of the accusations detailed in victim statements and documentation.
Other examples include multiple victims providing statements to be transported to other parishes and
outside of Louisiana where they were sexually abused. Additionally, it was reported that in some
instances, ‘gifts’ were given to abuse victims by the accused with instructions to pass on or give the ‘gift’
to certain priest at the next school or church. It was said that the ‘gift’ was a form of signaling to another
priest that the person was a target for sexual abuse. Another example of the continued misuse and illegal
activity occurring at Archdiocese facilities is that multiple victims reported being brought to the New
Orleans Seminary where they were told to ‘skinny dip’ or swim naked in the pool and would be sexually
assaulted or abused. This was discovered to be a common occurrence and it was reported that other
members of the Archdiocese were present at the pool at the time. Although not all, many of the alleged
sexual abuse cases or incidents occurred on Archdiocese property.

Based on these findings, as well as the allegations of previous widespread child sexual abuse, it was
determined that further investigation into the Archdiocese of New Orleans was necessary.

At this time, based on the information provided, it is respectfully requested that a search warrant be issued
to the Archdiocese of New Orleans for ANY and ALL documentation, both digital and hard paper
regarding complaints, to include, but not limited to:
